I say the hell with the AMIGA name becuase it has done nothing but turn people off for years, the average person now-a-days dont even know what and amiga is. My know-it-all A+ teacher didn't know what it is, I said AMIGA, he replied "Omica?" I said no, AMIGA, he said "Omega" then I had to spell it out A M I G A, he said "oh, never heard of it" then proceded to ask me about it, I started to describe it he had some interest, we were talking about me possibly bringing one in to class, untill I showed him a Picture of My A4000 with my 1200 and 500 sitting next to each other, he seen the name C= commodore A4000/040 and C= commodore A1200 and C= commodore A500 with the word emblazend on the case's AMIGA, "OOOH, ITS A COMODORE" comes from his mouth, he rememberd the C64 and 128d and knew of Commodore's death, and asked for the long story, AFTER HEARING ME DRONE ON AND ON ABOUT COMMODORE, ESCOM, VISCORP, GATEWAY, JIM COLLAS,  AND NOW AMIGA INC, HYPERION, AND EYETECH, I STARTED TO SEE HIS EYES KINDA CROSS AS IF HE WAS WATCHING THE ROOM SPIN, THEN HE LOST TOTAL INTEREST IN AMIGA EVERYTHING AND DID NOT EVEN WANT TO SEE THE A4000 SYSTEM THAT WE HAD DISCUSED ME BRINGING IN.

The name Amiga is Associated to commodore to the outside world that may still remember the Amiga, and thats not good because they dont want to waist their money on a system that nobody can seem to keep in business.  When people spend money, they like to know for sure what they are getting, and that seems to be an impossibility with AMIGA
There was a time I can remember computers were fun...I miss my A1200.
